### a film by Monika Forsberg & Susie Sparrow

### animate! synopsis

At the party, humans, animals and ‘other-worldly’ beings dance the night away.
She’s a monster, she is gorgeous,
He is well fit, my fur is wet.
I’m so happy I’m going to throw up,
I’m going to kick your head in!
We believe in happy endings.

A textured collage of drawn and digital 2D illustration with DV live-action.
